B-Slim Model
1. to develop self directed learners, especially in second languages
2. to ensure that every learner succeeds at each phase of the learning process by maximizing exposure to concepts through all learning styles/intelligences and encouraging intellectual/thinking growth in systematically developed steps
3. to help students develop all aspects of language by applying research findings from all areas of second language learning and acquisition (language awareness, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, situations- fluency-accuracy, culture and Culture, learning strategies, listening comprehension, speaking, writing, reading, forms, skills, content, motivation-attitude)
4. to ensure that learners can transfer what they have learned in one familiar context to new contexts.
5. to learn language and to learn through language.
6. to identify success in learning in concrete provable terms (assessment for learning and assessment of learning).
I - Giving it
In Giving It stage, teachers present material in the target language in a way that students understand, which involves the provision of context, visuals, gestures, examples and anecdotes. II - Getting it
This stage of the model helps students to LEARN; that is to understand AND remember. This is important because if one cannot remember a concept- whether it be vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, cultural points or learning strategies- one cannot use it! Getting It activities help students understand the concept being taught at their own rate (self-paced) and through a variety of learning styles
III - Using it
During the Using it stage of B-SLIM students engage in activities that require them to USE or apply what they have learned from memory. Students solve problems, create, use their imaginations and are put in new situations or contexts in order to ‘transfer’ what they have learned.
